I485 approval
I was recently approved for permanent residency. My approval notice is arriving today. I was able to see it via USPS informed delivery. from what I can see it says that prior to receiving my Green card, I may have to submit fingerprints and a signature, if youโ€™re required to appear. has anybody recently received their approval notice and can share their experience? TIA

I have the same in my approval notice. How do you see it via USPS informed delivery? I don't see that option in my online USCIS account.

@Sara Er so download the usps app and sign up for informed delivery. basically they send you a code in the mail to verify identity. then after you enter that into the app and you will start receiving emails of the mail youโ€™re receiving for the day w photos of the letters. it has nothing to do with USCIS although they recommend you sign up for it.

@ar . Itโ€™s just a computer automated generated ( generic) message that everyone who is approved received. In another word, a way for USCIS ( legal) to cover their decision in case they need or have to do further investigation after fact ( approval) .

O O and felasky Thanks a lot. How long does it take to see the case status changed to approved after receiving the approval notice (May 12) in the documents?

ar Thank you very much for the info. I will sign for the USPS app.

@Sara Er you will receive the notice after approval. Case status will change roughly a week before receiving notice.

ar - still waiting. I have an approval letter in the documents section dated by May 12. There is no change in the history. Still looks like case is being reviewed. I hope to see some updates soon.
